"What do you mean by dying once?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a low voice.
To talk about the things between her and Mo Rongzhan, she had to start from their first meeting. However, what happened after their first meeting was not something that ordinary people could understand. How should she tell Mo Rongzhan about it?
"Yao Yao?" Mo Rongzhan called her name in a low voice. He was still waiting for her to talk about their past.
"I also have another name, Ye Zhen …" Ye Zhen whispered, recalling the first time they met in the Hundred Flower Garden, his promise, and the secret code between them. "You couldn't see me with your eyes at that time, so when I went to find you, you refused to see me. In order to marry you, I begged my father to agree. My uncle threatened me to sever my relationship with the Ye family if I marry you. I also agreed …"
Mo Rongzhan hugged her tightly. "Did I think of you when I saw the jade pendant?"
"No …" Ye Zhen's voice trembled. "On the day I married you, you left. You didn't even see me …"
"Didn't we consummate our marriage?" Mo Rongzhan's voice sank slightly.
Ye Zhen buried her face in his neck. She was hesitant. She didn't know if she should conceal her identity as Ye Zhen as before. She didn't know if Mo Rongzhan would believe her secret. If he didn't, wouldn't he treat her as a monster? But she didn't want to be trapped in the torment anymore. Whether he believed it or not, she had to tell him.
"No …" Ye Zhen whispered about her life in King Qin's Mansion. She did not go into too much detail, but simply said, "… On the day you ascended the throne, I died under Lu Lingzhi's poisonous wine."
Mo Rongzhan's expression changed and he looked at her with a frown.
"Don't ask, let me finish." Ye Zhen's tone was almost pleading. She continued to tell him what happened later. "I don't know how I was reborn, or as Lu Yaoyao …"
"Yao Yao!" Mo Rongzhan held her hand tightly. He didn't believe in the legends of ghosts and gods. What she said was too outrageous. It sounded like she was fooling him, but he didn't know why there was sadness and heartache in his heart. He knew that what she said was true.
Ye Zhen did not look at him. She continued to talk about how she met him, how she was conferred the title of princess, how she was forced to stay by his side until she told the truth, how Lu Lingzhi was crippled … Everything, until he fell off the cliff.
She spoke very quickly. Since she had to say it anyway, instead of guessing whether he would believe her or not, she might as well tell him everything. Whether he believed her or not … it was up to him.
Outside, the moon was already high in the sky. She had unknowingly talked for a long time, but Mo Rongzhan still held her in his arms and did not let go. He did not expect that so many things had happened between them. When she talked about the past, his mind was in intense pain. It was as if he could faintly remember a blurry shadow as she spoke.
Even if he did not remember it clearly, he was keenly aware of sorrow and regret.
"We have let you down." Mo Rongzhan said in a low voice, "Yao Yao, we should not have forgotten you again."
Ye Zhen shook her head gently. "You will remember me again, right?"
"You have long been engraved in this emperor's life." She was definitely an unforgettable memory, otherwise he would not have forgotten everything and still remembered her.
"Then what should we do next? You have lost your memory. When you see the Sixth Prince tomorrow, he will definitely see through it. "Ye Zhen asked in a low voice." We have to go back to the capital. "
Mo Rongzhan asked, "I don't trust anyone but you now. Try to hide it first and wait until I see the others tomorrow before making a decision."
"Good." Ye Zhen nodded gently. "You haven't eaten for a few days. Are you hungry? I will have people carry porridge and soup in the kitchen every day and wait for you to wake up. I will have someone bring it to you, okay? "
"I am indeed hungry." Mo Rongzhan's eyes were full of smiles, and he gently stroked her belly with one hand. "Yao Yao, the first person I see when I wake up is you. It's so good."
Ye Zhen finally showed the first smile in many days. "I also think it's good that you are awake."
Even if there was a problem with his memory.
Hong Ying and Jianjia were sent to the next room. Ye Zhen went to the door and called them. The maid who had fallen asleep immediately woke up and came to see Ye Zhen.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw Mo Rongzhan sitting up. Their eyes widened with joy. "Is the emperor awake?"
Ye Zhen nodded with a smile. "Don't make it public for the time being. We will tell the Sixth Prince and the general tomorrow. Go and prepare hot water for the emperor to freshen up. Also, bring the stew and porridge that have been prepared on the stove. Remember to put some fish in the porridge."
"Yes, Your Highness." The two maids couldn't restrain their joy. These days, they watched their Queen Mother lose weight day by day. They were anxious and even secretly worried about what she would do if the emperor didn't wake up.
Heaven has eyes, the emperor finally woke up.
Mo Rongzhan had been lying on the bed for a few days and had long felt uncomfortable all over. He drank some soup first and then took a bath to his heart's content. He cleaned the beard on his face and suddenly felt refreshed, returning to his handsome appearance.
"Sit down and have some porridge. You haven't eaten for a few days. I'm afraid you won't be able to adapt after waking up. Drink some soup and porridge first, and then cook something delicious tomorrow." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
"Stand still and don't move." When Mo Rongzhan saw her coming over to tidy up his clothes, he hurriedly walked over and let her sit down. "I can do it myself."
Ye Zhen looked at him with a smile. "Even if you don't remember, you are still the same as before."
Mo Rongzhan sat down beside her. "I am the emperor. Will I become another person?"
"Drink the porridge." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
"Where is this?" Mo Rongzhan asked while eating the porridge. Why did he smell a faint fishy smell?
Ye Zhen said, "This is a small fishing village. Fortunately, you were discovered. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do. The wound on your forehead is too serious. It has only gotten better in the past few days. "
Mo Rongzhan touched the wound on his forehead. "What about Lu Lingzhi? I fell off the cliff and was rescued. Was he also rescued? "
"I heard that he was seriously injured by you and fell off the cliff into the river. It should be impossible for him to still be alive." If Lu Lingzhi was still alive, it could only be said that he really lived up to the saying that a scourge would last for a thousand years.
"We will leave here tomorrow. I will send someone to find Lu Lingzhi." Mo Rongzhan said. As long as he heard this name, his killing intent would surge uncontrollably. This person must die.
Ye Zhen said, "You have just woken up. Don't rush to travel. Can you rest for another two days?"
"Alright, I can learn more about the past." Mo Rongzhan thought about it and nodded. "Who is here now?"
"Except for my brother and the Sixth Wangye, the others are your secret guards …" Ye Zhen said, telling Mo Rongzhan everyone's name and appearance.
Mo Rongzhan's eyes were solemn as he memorized every word Ye Zhen said.
